Only thing I've like to see for the 51s is the 150oct perk option

have you seen what 150 does to spit and tempy performance? be careful what you wish for :D

Isn't the only difference between the B and the C is location of production with the B being built in California and the C in Texas?  Other than that, from what I've read there is no difference between the B and the C.  Both were produced and entered operation service at the same time.

Not only THAT, the guns were prone to jamming as on the B.   A stopgap Variant until the Bubble Top D, seeing as the Specs are identical to the B as well.

I'd love to see the Bearcat as well, however it didn't see combat and we'll likely never see it added to the game.

yea, they where in service right at the end but did not get a chance.  Dam, it would have been interesting to see how they stood up against IJ AC.

Same gos for British and u.s. jets.

Comparing the Apache to even the P-51B is like comparing the Spitfire MkI to the Spitfire MkXVI.

Many would be extremely disappointed in it, about 100 or so came with four 20 millimeter Hispanos if I am not mistaken though.

I hope your joking Oakranger....if not, here.

The P-38K-1-LO is the rarest variant, only one was ever built from scratch, another was modified from different model. So rare in fact that only photos that exist are of the heavily modified version. There are no know photos of the scratch built P-38K, the best preforming P-38 of the war. It had a initial takeoff climb of over 4,800 fpm and service ceiling of 45,000 feet or more! It was predicted to break 450 mph at critical alt while having 10-15% greater range.

This is the hot rod special of P-38s!
